Dear All I've discovered the following which I believe is a tail vertebra approximately 100 m west of Brook chine, Isle of Wright, UK. Is there any of you who can narrow down what it is specifically e.g. animal and body part. I froze my off for four hours in downpouring rain with bone-chilling winds with all my clothing 110% soaked (only gonna make the mistake of forgetting rain clothing and wellingtons once) in the hunt for this one so I praise myself quite lucky for finding this and not catching a cold . When I went to the local pub afterwards my hands were that numb that I couldn't even lift my glass of soda, had to use both hands!

Hello everyone, I'm Li, a D.Phil student doing history of art at Oxford Uni. I'm very passionate about collecting fossils because my late uncle is a great collector of fossils in China. But I'm a complete novice in this field. I just came back from my FIRST EVER 'fossil hunt' on the Isle of Wight. I found three 'interesting' fossils on Shanklin beach and Compton Bay. I found them when the tide was low (between 3 pm and 6 pm). I have asked some local experts to identify them. They are two wood fossils and one block of stone (sandstone?) containing prints of shells. Though they are not as 'wonderful' findings as dinosaur bones, I'm quite excited about them! As I've heard the wood fossil is fragile, I've already applied glue on one of them (fig. wood fossil 1) Will keep collecting fossils on the beach! Any tips on fossil collecting/hunting will be welcomed!

A new genus and species of hadrosauriform dinosaur, Brighstoneus simmondsi, is described from the Lower Cretaceous Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14772019.2021.1978005?scroll=top&needAccess=true

Found this at Compton Bay. Thought it was bone because of the striations and shape on the outside. But inside looks nothing like the honeycomb I would expect. Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone any ideas on this? I picked this up because the multiple ridges and shape was interesting. Now I’m home I’m more and more intrigued by it. Was laying at the cliff base.

Hi paleoguys! Some years ago a friend of mine found on the Isle of Wight-the UK (dinosaur coast/Barremian age) what seems to be a reptile bone. It looks like a transverse process or something like that. We have no idea. We'd be very grateful if you enlight us and solve this mystery. More picture to come...
